One day, Lord Krishna appeared in his dreams and asked him to vacate this place as it belonged to him. The very next day, Jai Singh shifted to City Palace and started with the construction work of the temple. He brought the idols of Govind Dev Ji and Radha Ji from Vrindavan and placed them here. Since then this temple was a place of worship for the members of the royal family of Jaipur.
